Born into a musical family he began playing drums from the age of five. His father played the drums as a teenager in New York and his mother played piano and was a vocalist and a music director for her church. As a child Anthony would sit by his mother's side as she played piano at Church and he absorbed a whole world of music in the early years in church. At the age of 10 his mother signed him up for drum lessons with Tony Hall who was in the U.S. Army and was stationed at the Fort Ord Army base in Monterey, California. Mr Hall taught Anthony some of the most valuable lessons that he uses to this day in music and in life. Anthony does not believe that there is only one type of instrument that magically make you play better. He was taught that it's the person behind the equipment and his or her ability to adapt that makes the difference in the performace. With this philosophy Anthony applied that to his life as well as his taste in music.
At the age of 19 Anthony dedicated himself to music full time having toured and recorded for more then 21 years with some time teaching and taking lessons with various professionals in between down time including Freddie Grubber, William Kennedy, Larry Bright,Brazilian Drummer Douglas Las Casas and others he has listen to.

Mas tambm ensinaram a ele a ginga do samba brasileiro.Coraes e tambores costumam dispensam tradutor. Mas aula terica de jazz, no. E a visita de Anthony King comea sonolenta, com uma aula terica. Mas as lies do baterista vo somando ritmo. E a garotada logo acorda para o talento do americano.De repente, o mestre ganha companhia. Jlio aluno e instrutor dos meninos do Morumbi. Generoso, o astro acompanha o jovem colega. E d espao para o som do outro.Aqui e ali, King retoma o comando. Tempera o samba com jazz e virtuosismo. O cara toca demais, tudo. Nunca tive oportunidade de tocar com algum conhecido. Acaba com a bateria praticamente, destri a bateria, diz Jlio Csar Santos, diretor do grupo.Todo bom msico tem de saber ouvir. E, na segunda parte do mgico encontro musical de hoje, em So Paulo, encheu os ouvidos de Anthony King se encheram do mais puro ritmo brasileiro.A garotada, na maioria jovens carentes, retribui a aula do artista americano.Samba, ax, baio, maxixe... At que o banho de notas faz ferver o sangue do visitante - e transbordar para a msica que ele - casado com brasileira - mais admirada no mundo. Quando eu chegou Brasil primeiro vez eu, l, muitos brasileiros gostam msica dos Estados Unidos. Eu gosta de samba, forr, samba-reggae, pagode, todos, ax. Gosta ritmos da terra, declara, rindo, Anthony King.
